She was part of a relay team who swam to France and back in a force 6 gale. She swims in a lake under Heathrow’s flightpaths whilst most people are still in bed. She sometimes ventures out on the back of a tandem mountain-bike.

Nicola is an enthusiastic, well connected freelancer who’s full of ideas. She knows where to find the chattiest and most knowledgeable amateur and pro athletes, coaches, team-managers and fitness experts and can talk their language. She’s turned features around within the week (even when they needed three rather specific case-studies).
